I saw that in one of the A.net news bulletins; I actually thought US/Canada Open Skies had been done a while back.
Unfortunately - and not surprisingly - no, nothing doing there. It takes initiative and imagination ... not in our department! It'll take Canada revoking our bilateral for our lot to take things seriously.
Interesting comment from the US DOT: it was dependant on EU/US Open Skies. If Open Skies goes ahead, does this overrule it; what if Open Skies is introduced from next Summer; do we still have to wait until next November?
Cullen has also said that he has made this deal a pre-condition of agreeing to Open Skies? Who are you kidding, buddy?
If Open Skies is introduced, you won't be able to stop it. I sincerely hope that the EU Commission keeps an eye on its own credibility and shoots this down ... Open Skies should mean Open Skies for all.
